I did two sets today...doesn't effect the Guide+, but will disable Close 
Caption.

    As Paul W. and I discussed today....either your deaf, and you need the 
Closed Caption, then no sound isn't gonna bother you anyway.;-) or the other 
way around. I guess with RCA the and/or choice has now been leveled to "OR" 
only.
